OEC now has Asian futures

Just got an email from OEC saying they now have access to the following markets:

HSI (HKEx)
HHI (HKEx)
SPI (SFE)
Nikkei 225 (SGX)
STW (SGX)

... and a few others on SGX and SFE.

Can anyone with an OEC account comment on the R/T commissions and data quality for these contracts? Would love a comparison to IB, since it now looks like IB FINALLY has some competition for these contracts!

Doing a little research on their site, comissions appear to be very high. They appear to be charging $5 a side ($10 R/T) plus exchange fees. Not even close to being competitive with IB. Nevermind I guess.

I'm actually more interested now to see what Amp does with its CQG partnership than what OEC is doing. OEC's commissions are too high and I found out through correspondence that they don't have depth of market for Asian markets, just bid and ask. Looking at Amp's website, it looks like they may already have connectivity to SGX, and they've promised to add the other Asian exchanges soon. I'm glad to see there's movement in this area, it's been long overdue.

Thanks for the info. Do you use any other brokers aside from OEC? I just wondered if it's still possible to trade in SC with multiple brokers and also easily change the data feed in SC in case OEC feed goes down.
